When fairytale creatures escape into reality, an orphan w/ trust issues must rely on 2 ppl who know the original story: his privileged ex-bf & a girl who bleeds ink.

If they can’t get ahead of the plot, they’ll be trapped forever in a world of monsters. #QueerPit #YA #NA #DF

Three images: a boy in water, a book burning, and lighting with the words “she was as real as paper” written across.

Selwyn rarely accepts help. The orphan knows people are undependable, but as soul-eating creatures attack his town & time freezes, he must lean upon the mayor's son (his ex) & a paper-made girl who bleeds ink in order to save all he loves & himself. #QueerPit #YA #DF #NA

A mood board of deep forests, burning books, and people lost in them with the quote: “dreams aren’t nothing. Desires aren’t pointless. choice is what makes us human and alive.”

While filming a doc on the era’s most iconic actress, a producer inherits archive footage and must reconcile contradictions between it and her interviews to find the truth about the star’s untimely death—before her own dark past destroys all she’s worked for. #QueerPit #Q #A #T

A collage of images including a bloody fingerprint, a red carpet, a girl in a bathtub; an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, a living room, a starlet on the red carpet.

18yo Selwyn collides w/ an eerily familiar girl made of paper who bleeds ink. Now a story is cut loose; & they must outrun the plot before it devours them.

A mood board for the book Blood Like Ink. It depicts forests, people within them, and ink splattered across the image while the words “I am wood. I am rot. I am, I am, I am. Tree. Leaf. Root. “You’re real to me.” Real to who? Tree. Leaf. Root.” Is printed across the image.

Do NOT come on here marketing self-pub, I'm not interested and I will block you ☺️ I know how to self-pub if that's what I wanted to do 🧵9/9

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · Aug 9

I just want a consistent author career. It’s my passion. It’s my dream. And this industry requires I have an agent to accomplish that. I’m seeing so many unicorns and so many authors whose agents stick with them through thick and thin, and in the end that’s all I want. I want a partner. 🧵8/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · Aug 9

All that to say, I have so many fulls out right now and yet I can’t allow myself to get excited. This manuscript already has 10x more interest than my debut ever got, but I’m not optimistic. I’m tired. 🧵7/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · Aug 9

And you can’t help but wonder if all the agent sees is, “Hi. No agent wanted my debut. But please look past that and evaluate this new book without judging me for having debuted with a small press.” 🧵6/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · Aug 9

And yet, “Hi, no agent wanted to rep my debut but a small press wanted to publish it, but now I’m querying you because I want to scale my author career. I promise I’m a great writer.” 🧵5/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · Aug 9

But also, “Hey, I got screwed by market timing last time because now there are all these time travel-esque novels coming out but I’m totally not bitter.” 🧵4/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · Aug 9

And then, “So look at this shiny new novel I’m bringing to you, having already gone through the trad pub process once, with all the experience and knowledge I’ve gained from that. I’m a dream client.” 🧵3/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · Aug 9

It’s like saying, “Hi there! Look how accomplished I am. Yes, the market was allergic to time travel the last time I was in the trenches, so no agent wanted it, but it has amazing trade reviews!” 🧵2/
